It is asking too much." "And yet the Lord Jesus Christ 'although He was rich, for our sakes became poor, that we, through His poverty, might be rich.' Mr.Winter, what this town needs is that kind of Christianity--the kind that will give up the physical pleasures of life to show the love of Christ to perishing men.

I believe it is just as true now as when Christ lived, that unless they are willing to renounce all that they have they cannot be his disciples." "Do you mean literally, Mr.Strong ?" asked the rich man after a little.
"Yes, literally, sometimes.

I believe the awful condition of things and souls we have witnessed to-night will not be any better until many, many of the professing Christians in this town and in Calvary Church are willing to leave, actually to leave their beautiful homes and spend the money they now spend in luxuries for the good of the weak and poor and sinful." "Do you think Christ would preach that if he was in Milton ?" "I do.

It has been burned into me that He would.

I believe He would say to the members of Calvary Church, 'If any man love houses and money and society and power and position more than Me, he cannot be My disciple.
If any man renounceth not all that he hath he cannot be My disciple.' And then he would test the entire church by its willingness to renounce all these physical things.
